Student Review
"Excellent attendings, and great site to end 4th year with! Appropriate amount of autonomy, and I especially appreciated the level of expertise and clinical education provided. Each attending was very mindful to encourage hands-on training and ensured that I was learning something with each new encounter. Everyone was very approachable and knowledgeable. I definitely learned a lot about anterior segment, pre/post-operative care and management, and contact lenses."
